Summary of the review
LG DF455HMS Review: A dishwasher that can tackle anything

Third-party reviews

What we like about LG DF455HSS

  • Excellent cleaning performance provided by the multi-angle QuadWash system
  • TrueSteam technology effectively dissolves tough stains and eliminates water spots on glassware
  • Highly flexible loading options due to the 3-basket EasyRack Plus layout with a dedicated cutlery rack
  • Automatic door opening mechanism at the end of cycles heavily enhances drying efficiency
  • Extremely quiet operation measuring at just 41 decibels
  • Convenient smart control and maintenance tracking via Wi-Fi connectivity and the ThinQ app

What we don't like about LG DF455HSS

  • Standard wash cycles can be quite lengthy to complete
  • Maximum cleaning cycles can have high energy and utility running costs
  • The top upper rack has limited structural flexibility for housing specific items like delicate wine glasses
  • Heavy reliance on residual heat means some plastic items or poorly placed dishes may not dry completely without extra dry options active

Verdict

The LG DF455HSS is a freestanding, 60 cm stainless steel dishwasher offering a 14 place setting capacity, a quiet 41 dB noise level, an energy efficiency Class C rating, and a low water consumption of 9.5 liters per cycle. Its main characteristics include an Inverter Direct Drive motor, a 4-arm QuadWash system for multi-angled cleaning, TrueSteam technology to eliminate tough food residue, Dual-Zone cleaning, an EasyRack Plus system with an adjustable middle rack, a 3rd cutlery drawer, and Wi-Fi connectivity via the ThinQ app. Key pros are its highly effective steam sanitization, exceptional whisper-quiet operation, customized rack flexibility, and an automatic door-opening feature that enhances drying performance. However, notable cons include long runtimes of nearly three hours on intensive and eco cycles, occasionally reported instances of Wi-Fi pairing instability, and the potential for a flimsy plastic mesh design on the cutlery drawer to catch on taller utensils if not positioned correctly.
